What's so bad about being 'good enough?' On this episode of Now or Never, meet people who are mediocre, and proud of it.  Fatuma Adar is a playwright and creator in Toronto who has made mediocrity her mission. She's written entire plays about the pressure to be excellent as a Black Muslim woman, and even released a musical ode to napping. While she's redefined her relationship with excellence, the question is: have her parents? Fatuma sits down with her father, Mohamed Adar, for a conversation they've never had before. Meet some self-described "Bad Moms." When Sara Legget was struggling under the pressures to be a perfect mother, she started writing about it online. What started as a blog has become the informal Bad Moms Canada support group. And few things bring Todd Gee's family joy like the "golden atrocity" of a family heirloom that's been passed around for 30 years. For this family, there is a lot of delight in embracing something less than perfect.
